Chapter 678 The Liangzhou Army regained the two places (11)
If the troops will enter Anping the next day, that is a big deal. After all, the purpose of the Liangzhou army coming to Jizhou was actually achieved by taking down Zhao State and Anping. It is true that Ma Chao dared not say that he would continue to attack the territory of Yanzhou Army in Jizhou. That was not what Ma Chao could do now. It was like this. Maybe he might not do that when he was young, but now, he really would not do that at this time. And he also knew that if he wanted to do that, 80% of people would have to persuade him that he would not be those generals.
And it's just Guo Jia. He should have the same idea as himself. He knows that the time to attack Jizhou is not yet mature. It's not that he has no confidence. If he really continues to attack, he will be defeated. That's it. It seems that it's not difficult to understand. If the generals really want to have war, they hope that there will be good for them. This is what they want to do.
Everyone knows that it is indeed that way. Generals all hope to continue to show themselves and strive for greater contributions, but the strategist does not have that idea. The most important thing is to seek stability. Unexpectedly, the winner is expected to lose first. This is what a qualified strategist should do, and unlike the general, they have to attack directly. They still have a lot of ideas. This is true.
As a strategist, what is it for oneself? It is not to let oneself win, at least Ma Chao and Guo Jia don’t think so much. But as a strategist, the most basic thing is to make oneself try not to suffer losses, not defeat, and fail to defeat other people’s plans. This is the fundamental reason. As for wanting to win the other party, that’s the future, this must be. At least you have to protect your side’s advantage first, and then talk about the others. There is no advantage and you can take it away, so this is real
Yes, you are not qualified. After all, if you are a top strategist in the world, at least you will not let your side suffer too much. This is about strategy, and the combat power of the two armies is not something that the strategist can change. The absolute strength is still not afraid of any strategy. Sometimes conspiracy and tricks are not very good in the face of absolute strength. This is indeed. You can destroy a plan with one strategy.
If the other party has 100,000 people, then the other party will come 100,000, and you will destroy them again, and they will come again... In the end, you will not be able to destroy them. There are too many people in the family, and the result will be the opposite. You are destroyed by others. So no matter how strategy you have, you will have to go too far. The Battle of Red Cliff was Cao Cao who failed, but if he really has the strength, he will have hundreds of thousands of people, so there is no need to be too
There are more than one hundred thousand people, and maybe all of them can change the final result of the Three Kingdoms. But the fact is that Cao Cao was not so powerful in history. How many people were there in the Han Dynasty? How many people were there in Cao, Sun, and Liu? So the Battle of Red Cliffs was already quite different from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Ma Chao had a deep understanding of the population. This is definitely too many people, too many more than in history, otherwise there would be no such many people. Even if you can conscript hundreds of thousands or millions of soldiers, what can you support that
With so many people, this is the most problem. When there are too many people, you must have much money and food, especially the latter, which is the fundamental! If you don’t have enough food, then many people will be useless and you will have to finish it in the end. So it’s true that there are enough people to support the army. After all, where does the food come from? It’s not transformed out of thin air, but is planted by people, and it depends on people.
As for you now recruit hundreds of thousands of troops, as long as you have enough food and grass. And with so many food and grass, the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army in the world cannot compete with them except for the Liangzhou Army. This is indeed. So the Liangzhou Army is the best in the world and the strongest. This has always been like this. In fact, if you recruit hundreds of thousands of troops, you need more and several times the people to support these troops. This is definitely the case, whether it is in the Liangzhou Army or the Yanzhou Army, the Jiangdong Army, there is no big area.
No. But the Liangzhou Army has much more money and food than them, and this is the same. This has always been a big advantage, and for so many years, the Liangzhou Army has always been like this, so this has long been an absolute advantage. At least the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army are hard to match, which is really true. The Liangzhou Army has been advantageous from the beginning, and it has been so many years since it has been, so it has long been full of wings. From a leading small advantage to a big advantage now, it has long become a big trend, but both of them are not as good as
Yes, that's it. Otherwise, why is the Liangzhou Army the strongest in the world now? The first one is that they have enough money and food at the beginning. It can be said that this is the biggest advantage. Now, what is actually? After all, you say that in troubled times, what is more important than having a meal? Of course, you have to say that peace is very important. This is indeed, but when you can't even eat, what else can you do?
What about peace? If all people die, then it is really peace. This is really true. So eating is very important. There are not many people who have enough food in troubled times, and there are not many fat people. At least Ma Chao is forty years old in his life. He has seen a few fat people. They are all rich and powerful, but none of them are ordinary people. Can you become fat people in troubled times? Wouldn't you dream? Haha,
Just kidding. There are not many in total. It’s true that Ma Chao’s feeling has given him over the past few decades. Anyway, as far as he saw him, those people who came from aristocratic families, powerful landlords, wealthy businessmen, may not be fat, but fat people must be among these people. This is right. The fattest person Ma Chao has ever seen should be Dong Zhuo for the time being. When he was the fattest, he had to be 300 pounds. But you said that he was a prince all the way, and this is also true, and it is also a powerful minister. However, Dong Zhuo’s origin is still a powerful person, and this is not bad at all.
Indeed, Dong Zhuo was born in Lintao, Longxi, and this is correct. Ma Chao knew very well. So he was born into a powerful man in Guanxi, and even a wealthy landlord in Guandong. He couldn't get along with him. This is really true. There are many reasons for the eighteen princes to challenge Dong, but there is one you must admit, that is, the vast majority of him.
Zhuo is not from the same faction, people who do not belong to the same interest group, but two groups of people. Yuan Shao and others generally belong to the Kanto Group, and Dong Zhuo is a representative of the Kanto Group, that's it. From the perspective of aristocratic families, Yuan Shao is a child of aristocratic family, while Dong Zhuo is a powerful person. He is born to be looked down upon by people from aristocratic families. This is also good, it's true.
This is indeed a different identity. If you become Cao Cao, you will not have the treatment of the eighteen princes to attack him. Of course, he and Dong Zhuo are different after all, and this is true. After all, Dong Zhuo has made people angry and resentful. Basically, most people want to destroy him and don’t want him to be good. This must be. Cao Cao’s words, except for those who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, the others are almost there. Even if they are other princes, they don’t say how they are hostile to him. This is indeed the case. After all, he is from Guandong, and this is considered an interest group.
Yes, and Guanxi are two people after all. No matter how you look at it, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are born like this. If Dong Zhuo did that, then there would be eighteen princes to attack him. No one cares about Cao Cao's words. There is also a little reason here. But despite this, the two are treated differently, and they still have similar things in many things, which is indeed true.
Ma Chao led his troops to Anping. For him, if he won the last county (country), his side would be perfect in Jizhou. His side would not engage in troops with the Yanzhou army for the time being. Similarly, they would not engage in combat with him. He could rest in Jizhou. Of course, the premise is that his side successfully captured Anping, the first county (country) occupied by the Yanzhou army before. Although the people and Zhao were not different from that place, Cao Hong, who guarded the city, was not as good as Cao Zhen. From Handan to Anping, the nearest road was to pass directly from Julu.
Finally, when he arrived in Anping, Ma Chao naturally led his troops to walk like this. He also thought that Cao Cao led the Yanzhou army to attack Anping first. It was obviously Qinghe, which was from Wei County, and then directly attacked Anping from Qinghe. This was the route. But after attacking Anping, he took down his county (country), and then went to Handan, Zhao State. Obviously, they did not take the nearest route. Doesn’t Ma Chao know yet? If Cao Cao also led his troops to Handan from Julu, then he could receive the battle.
Report, even if Cao Cao had no intention of fighting in Julu first, at least he could receive information, but there was no such thing. Then obviously, the opponent's army had not passed by Julu at all, that's it. Indeed, what Ma Chao thought was right. Cao Cao did not go to the line between Julu and Handan, but took a detour. After Cao Cao led his troops to occupy Anping, he marched directly southwest from Xindu, passed Qinghe, and arrived at Qinghe.
At the junction of Wei County and Julu, the three counties (countries), this is Cao Cao's first step. In the second step, he led his troops along the junction of Wei County and Julu, and then went straight to Handan. To be honest, it is indeed farther than crossing Julu, which is not much farther. This is a bit good. In some places, it is not easy to walk, and this is true, but compared to Shu, Jizhou is larger.
Most of them are plains and not many mountains, but it is really good. Where there is road, it is naturally fast, while where there is no road, the pioneer is "cutting the road through mountains and building bridges across water", which really cannot stop the Yanzhou army, and people just let the army come here. If you walk in Shu, you walk like this and walk in places without roads, it will basically not work unless you take the army to climb the mountain. But that is not impossible, but maybe the fastest is a month's road, you have to walk for seven or eight months... It's still a little, really.
It is no big problem in Jizhou, but in Shu, then wait to be trapped. But if it is really there, Cao Cao would never be like this. It would be a waste of trouble. Jizhou is different after all. If it is Yizhou, he would not dare, it is really like this. In fact, even if Cao Cao insisted on that, his subordinates would not agree. If he had to persuade him, he would definitely have this. But he still
It’s not that he is so stupid. Before he even fought against the enemy, he had dragged his side down before. That is really not Cao Cao’s style. The so-called “one general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops” is true. Cao Cao/He is able to make mistakes, but he is definitely not an incompetent person, not a person who talks about military affairs on paper. This is definitely not. How can Zhao Kuo compare with Cao Cao? It’s true.
Ma Chao led his troops across Julu to Anping, and there was basically no obstacle all the way. For him, it was the same, similar to Zhao State, and his side had the most trust. Even if Anping was all his hands, it was like this. And Anping would never say it was harder to take down than Zhao State, and he knew this. After all, Anping was not as good as Zhao State. Although Zhao State was not big, it was indeed not as trustworthy as Handan, at least in Ma Chao's eyes, it was indeed true. After all, when attacking Wei County in the future, if Zhao State was still on his side
In his hands, then Ma Chao must have put his troops there and then sent troops to Yecheng from there. But obviously, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army would not let his side do that, and he knew that. Anyway, if he was Cao Cao, he would not let Handan still be in his hands. After all, if he really wanted to move the base camp to Yecheng, then Handan was a place that the Yanzhou army had to take, and nothing to say
That's it. Not to mention Cao Cao, it's Yanzhou Army. Even if he is them, he has to do that in the end. It's normal. Ma Chao led his troops across Julu and arrived at Anping. He didn't have the worries of Cao Cao. At the beginning, the other party mainly did not want to move troops in Julu, so it was not impossible to understand that such a detour was not impossible, at least he could still understand.
yes. Ma Chao did this so naturally to save time. The nearest road was much faster than Cao Cao's back then. This is right. Cao Hong, who is in Anping Xindu, is obviously waiting for his side. Now Ma Chao is taking 35,000 troops straight to Xindu just to win the city. Of course, the sooner the better. It must be, and the more than 30,000 people on his side, the Yanzhou army is defending the city, even if it should win the city, it is inevitable.
He said, there were more people than them, Ma Dai was stronger than Cao Hong, and the former was stronger than Cao Zhen, let alone Cao Hong. Cao Hong was not as good as Cao Zhen, and this was true. Cao Hong also knew the movements of the Liangzhou army. Less than a day after they entered Anping, he had already received news from his own exploration. The Liangzhou army had already invaded Anping, and at this time he was in a turbulent manner to the capital.
It is to fight with our main force here. Cao Hong is not afraid of anything about this, but Cao Zhen has been in Handan for more than ten days before. It is unlikely that he will say that he will surpass the other party, but it must be similar.
